Hey Viper,
I know of Lindberg's kit:
but it is 1/48th scale...
Cheyenne, Wikipedia has this photo which identifies the trams in your image as Motor car of type TD of the GBS, built in 1912;
This tram looks like the Custom Dioramics offering plus it has the Berlin Bear logo:

Saul thanks for the pics . They will be immensely helpful when scratching the cars .
The only thing is that in the ref pic the cars appear to have squared fronts and backs .
Also if you look in the center of the ref pic the electric contact [ above the trike truck ] is a single contact , not the scissor jack type .
No problem , I'm not splitting hairs , like I said your pics will be very very helpful when scratching !!!
Thanks for taking the time to find those pics !!!!
Some more refs I found yesterday ...........
A skeletal pic for the framework for the scratch .........
Similar cars . .........
Contacts ..........
A little weathering ........
Some additional inspiration pics ...........
I love bridges ....... may add one .........
Potential vehicles ...............
I swear , sometimes I fell like these guys when I need to find refs !!!
Andy , thanks man , I recently cleared out an area in my room for additional builds .
I only had one build station so when I wanted to work on other projects I had to clean everything up and start the new idea , ........
This is most likely why I never finish anything , now I can work on multiple builds without putting everything away to start something new !!!

Hey Glenn
Another immense and inspiring work in the wings...
You are amassing a good collection of references here, and I'm sure you'll take us on a fun ride.
I love the way you see a bridge photo and decide "Ooh mebbe I'll just build one of them too as I love 'em", whereas I tremble at the thought...

Hi Cheyenne,
I don't see the flat faces on any of the four trams in the photo:
So, I looked at their serials to determine the type. Number one has a four digit serial but I only saw the first three (577X).
So I went to look at a web site with museum trolleys and found some within the serial range:
5725
5472 note the way the windows in the center section have rounded corners. The fronts of these trams may have been rebuilt.
5984 shows the black dot which I thought, at first, was the windshield wiper pivot point.

Andy , thanks man , you can post them right here if you'd like , they would be very helpful , not to mention I'm a bit of an old pic collector :laugh:
Brad , :laugh: See the bridge ....... be the bridge ......... :laugh:
This is for the Sept. 2010 Berlin group build , yeah I know it's a bit early , but I want all my ducks in a row for the starting gun !!! :laugh:
Saul , beautiful , just beautiful pics !!!!
The Stadtring # 3493 trolley has a very tapered nose , as opposed to the new pic of 5725 .
I don't know different manufactures ? .......... 1920's model , 30's etc ?
It's easy to see the radical taper but harder to see the slightly tapered nose on certain angle pics . That is what I meant when I said they looked flat nosed , [ original post ] no taper . Sorry I didn't make myself clear on that .
None of them look 90 degree angle [ rectangle/boxed ] shapes , however my eyes don't see the radical taper to the nose in my first ref pic , certainly not as radical of a taper to the nose as the Stadtring 3493 pic , or the Custom Dio offers .
Now that you mention it I was wondering what that cable was on the nose of the car ?
For el when cars are in tandem ?

Found another producer and it looks faithful to the Model 601 Tram:
From Model Dream:

Too bad (for you) that it is 1/72nd scale! I didn't notice at first.
